Chapter 1

Question 16 of 21 Question 1 of 21

1

3212. What Causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

Select one of the following:

  • a) The CG shifts forward when thrust and drag are reduced.

  • c) When the thrust is reduced to less than weight, lift is also reduced and the wings can no longer support the weight.

  • b) The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced.

Select one of the following:

  • a) airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll.

  • b) groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point.

  • c) groundspeed at touchdown, a shorter ground roll, and the likelihood of undershooting the desired touchdown point.

Explanation

Question 15 of 21 Question 7 of 21

3263. As altitude increased, the indicated airspeed at which a given airplane stalls in a particular configuration will

Select one of the following:

  • b) decreased as the true airspeed increases.

  • c) remain the same regardless of altitude.

  • a) decreased as the true airspeed decreases.

Explanation

Question 17 of 21 Question 8 of 21

1

3311. The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will

Select one of the following:

  • a) increased if the CG is moved forward.

  • b) change with an increase in gross weight.

  • c) remain the same regardless of gross weight.

Explanation

Question 13 of 21 Question 9 of 21

3315. Ground effect is most likely to result in which problem?

Select one of the following:

  • b) Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.

  • c) Inability to get airborne even though airspeed is sufficient for normal takeoff needs.

  • a) Settling to the surface abruptly during landing.

Explanation

Question 5 of 21 Question 10 of 21

1

3312. What is ground effect?

Select one of the following:

  • a) The result of the interference of the surface of the earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.

  • b) The result of an alteration in airflow patterns increasing induced drag about the wings of an airplane.

  • c) The result of the disruption of the airflow patterns about the wings will no longer support the airplane in flight.

Explanation

Question 4 of 21 Question 11 of 21

1

3313. Floating caused by the phenomenon of ground effect will be most realized during an approach to land when at

Select one of the following:

  • b) twice the length of the wingspan above the surface.

  • a) less than the length of the wingspan above the surface.

  • c) a higher-than-normal angle of attack

Explanation

Question 3 of 21 Question 12 of 21

1

3314. What most pilot be aware of as a result of ground effect?

Select one of the following:

  • c) A full stall landing will require less up elevator deflection than would a full stall when done free of ground effect.

  • a) Wingtip vortices increase creating wake turbulence problems for arriving and departing aircraft

  • b) Induced drag decreases; therefore, any excess speed at the point of flare may cause considerable floating.
